you know, when I had that panic attack a week ago, it seems it set me back. my energy has been drained every since, but somehow, i made it through it, and, compared to times before, way faster......i am not walking around wondering when the next one is coming now...2 years ago, when i had the last major major one like that it messed me up for weeks.

well for me it is usually precipitated by a few days of feeling dissassociation. I usually feel like I am outside looking in, i can't help but notice every bodily symptom or abnormal feeling, and my mind cannot escape from these feelings, and when the big attack comes i begin feeling numb in my left hand and fingers, and i find myself crying out NO, but no one can hear me, and begin feeling weak and dizzy and nearly faint, imbalanced, and i try coping skills to bring myself out of it, i shake frantically sometimes, my heart pounds, i feel like my breathing is labored, sights and sounds become too bright and too loud, and if someone else sees me, they usually make me panic harder because they comment, things like, oh, this isn't good, or you are white as a ghost, or something else relative, I continue panicking and shaking and suddenly find i fear everything, but usually that i am having a heart attack or stroke. and, then it usually results in a week of agoraphobia where I am safe as long as I am confined home, and i've messed up jobs and promotions, then I feel depressed that i am so weak and others cope just fine, and it's just a vicious cycle, then I spend the next 6 months or so with subsequent smaller attacks and ones where I am able to work and drive, but cautiously and with fear. But, then these are simply the precursor to stronger ones on the loom. the only thing that has improved for me since they've started is that I have learned to not have CONSTANT anxiety. because i've evolved with cognitive behavior therapy, but then again, sometimes this doesn't work either, just have to keep at it. it's all so exhausting, and then i find myself in sorrow and pitty for myself because they've occured.

i have heart disease and strokes in my family, i have the famous, "earlobe crease" on one ear while the other comes and goes, I absolutely obsess about these things all the time. I cannot quiet my mind from these things, i have high cholesterol, but all the remedies either don't work or make me feel like heck, so, I feel defeated in my quest to bring it into control. I have read everything i can find for the past 4 yrs on heart disease and I just can't stop..........what is this? is this obsessive compulsive or something???? if i could stop obsessing about health, which i am for some reason so interested in, but doing nothing to curtail, i might someday win this battle.
